The 49ers appear to be one of seven teams interested in former Rams linebacker James Laurinaitis.
Laurinaitis’ dad, Joe, better known as professional Hall of Fame wrestler “Road Warrior Animal,” suggested on a Twitter account that his son has visits with the 49ers, Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago, Washington, New England and the New York Giants.
The Rams released Laurinaitis, along with defensive end Chris Long and tight end Jared Cook in a salary-cap purge on Feb. 19. Laurinaitis, 29, has never missed a start in his seven-year NFL career while recording more than 100 tackles in each season.
